1991 Buick Regal - A broken down, hopeless, hoopty

I got this off a friend who was looking to get a new vehicle. Not only was the car past its prime, it nearly passed being functional. The steering was messed up such that it could barely turn. The A/C was always breaking down, and during the summers in the south, this was absolutely brutal. Lowering the windows does almost nothing unless you're on the highway, but the scorching, cracked, faux-leather seats were probably the nicest touch. In some ways, I'll miss this piece of crap when it's gone but not much. It gets towed if I leave it out in front of the place where I live because some 'concerned citizen' doesn't like the look of it.

Story

It got towed, because I live in front of a school, and the look of it probably offended some parent (of course, they also wanted access to the parking space it took up).

Pros

I guess it has a certain charm, like adopting a dog past its prime. It also had a lot of trunk space.

Cons

Almost everything. It guzzles gas, handles poorly, and never has any A/C…it's just miserable.

The vehicle has traveled over 250,000 miles and is still going. She does not have a lot of acceleration or snazzy features, but it is extremely durable and well priced. Think of the car as a plow horse or pack mule - always getting the job done.

Story

I have spent many hours listening to Art Bell Radio in this car! Yes, aliens are real.

Pros

The fact that it has traveled literally to the distance of the MOON without falling apart.

2004 Buick Rendezvous - Carmax Houston

All of the employees were very friendly to every customer/guest they encountered. There was a play area where our son could be entertained. The dealer who helped us was very knowledgeable about the cars we looked at and he helped us get the best, most affordable deal for our money. He was not pushy or overly persuasive like dealers at many other dealerships we've encountered throughout the years. We were able to get low interest financing with a very reasonable monthly payments. We expressed that we had another appointment to get to afterwards and the dealer was adamant about helping us in a timely manner. We drove away happy!

2003 Buick LeSabre - Alamo City Autoplex San Antonio

I was in a wreck and badly needed a car. They worked with me that day, and spent a little more than I intended, but it was worth it. The car has been driving perfect and the people there understood what I was going through.
